密苏里协定 The Missouri Compromise

1819年发生了一连串严重的经济问题，门罗总统再度面临另一个危机，密苏里是第一个透过路易斯安纳购地（Louisiana Purchase）案拓展开拓土地而成立的州，这是门罗在1803年达成的协议，让当时的美国成为二十二个州的联邦国家，其中十一个州仍有奴隶制度、另十一个州则已废除，当时在美国国会对于密苏里州是否应准许奴隶制度的施行也生成了一番讨论。

您认为这个争议应如何解决？

In 1819, a time of serious economic problems, President Monroe was faced with another crisis. Missouri was the first state to be carved out of land acquired through the Louisiana Purchase, which Monroe had helped negotiate in 1803. It was on the verge of being admitted to the Union at a time when there were 22 states. Eleven states allowed slavery and 11 did not. There was an argument in the U.S. Congress about whether Missouri should or should not allow slavery.

How do you think this argument was resolved?
